Music streaming service Spotify is unavailable to many users early on Wednesday.

The company's official Spotify Status account on X tweeted they are "aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!"

Downdetector, a service that tracks uptime for popular internet sites and apps, indicates that Spotify is down for numerous users in the past hour or so. Downdetector data shows that most users are reporting problems with the Spotify app in particular. (Disclosure: Ziff Davis owns both Mashable and Down Detector.)
